Welcome to Gospel in Life. Why does the Bible talk about money so much? How we think about and use our money is one of the most common subjects throughout Scripture. And the Bible tells us something striking. You cannot experience deep spiritual growth without putting your money and your attitude toward it

in God's hands. Listen as Tim Keller shows us why generosity is not optional for Christians,

but a vital mark of authentic faith.

Bringing your gospel of John to church for the last year and a half.

You'll have to look over into somebody else of you, somebody else's Bible.

I'm going to read to you from 2 Corinthians chapter 9.

I'll explain why they detour in a moment. Second Corinthians

chapter 9, verses 6 through 15. Paul's epistle to the Corinthians, his second one,

at least the second one we have,us 6 to 15.

And Paul says, remember this.

Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly.

And whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give. Not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver, and God is able to make all grace abound to you,

so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

As it is written, he has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor his righteousness endures forever now he who

supplies seed in the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will

enlarge the harvest of your righteousness you will be made rich in every way so that you may be

generous on every occasion and through us your generosity will

result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs

of God's people, but also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service

by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your

confession of the gospel of Christ
